QUANTITATIVE OIL FILLING AND DISPENSDQG BOTTLE.

Application filed May 16, 1923. Serial No. 639,402.

To all whom it may concern:

'Be it known that I, CHARLES P, MCCOR- MICK, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident ofDecatur, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Quantitative Oil Filling and Dispensing Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices tor use in visibly holding, measuring and dispensing oils for and to mechanical devices requiring lubrication.

My invention aims primarily to provide a device which may be readily filled direct from the bulk container or storage tank, without unscrewing or in any way adjusting or removing an part of said device for the purpose of fil in or dispensing, the device being filled an emptied directly at the spout.

Other objects of this invention are to provide an oil filling and dispensing loottle having a wide base designed to ehm1- nate the possibility of tipping and breakage, being so shaped that in tipping no part of the sides or top of the glass bottle can come in contact with the surface against which the same may tip. The force of the contact in tipping is received by and upon the extreme end of the metal spout, which being constructed of heavy gauge metal, thus maintains a minimum of glass breakage, also providing a suitable shape at the neck of the bottle by means of which the same can be grasped and conveniently held while filling or dispensing. The bottle is also provided measuring marks for definite quantities.

In the accom anying drawing Figl illustrates a com ined elevation and crosssection showing the detailed construction of the spout, cap, and vents. Fi 2 illustrates a combined elevation an crosssection showing the bottle inverted with the oil being dispensed and indicating by ar rows the course taken by the incoming air which quickly fills the vacuum created by the outgoing oil. Fig. 3 illustrates a crosssection showing the bottle being filled at the to of the spout and indicating by arrows t lie course taken by the outgoing air as it is dispensed by the incoming oil.

In the drawing numeral 1 indicates the filling and dispensing spout, 2 the cone top or ca 3 the metal capthread, 4 the glass bott e cap thread, 5 the bottle neck head, 6 the bottle neck, 7 the conical bottle sides, 8 the wide bottle base, J the one quart measuring ring, 10 the one pint meas- -ur1ng ring, 11 the double reversible innerlntake vent, 12 the reversible outer-intake vent, 13 the filling faucet.

Relative to the filling operation, the bottle complete is placed or held beneath the filling faucet 13 as shown in Fig. 3. The oil is poured into the bottle through the filling and dispensing spout l, displacing the air upward and outward as indicated by arrows through the double reversible inner-intake vent 11, and the reversible outer-intake vent 12, thus ejecting the air from the interior of the bottle easily, and with the same speed as the oil is inserted, eliminating the necessity of unscrewing and removing the entire cap of the bottle in filling, and also eliminating the possibility of bottle breakage or oil leakage which frequently results from the necessity of removing the top or cap from bottles which cannot be filled by any other means.

Relative to the dispensing operation, as shown in Fig. 2, the bottle is inverted so that thefilling and dispensing spout 1 may be inserted into an aperture or filling point of any tank, machine, or mechanism of any kind requiring lubrication, in such a manner as to drain the contents of said bottle, which when so placed will dispense the oil through the filling and dispensing spout 1, as rapidly as could be accomplished were there no sealed covering on the then top of the inverted bottle, by means of the rapid and proportionate intake of air which is conveyed inward through the reversible outer-intake vent 12, upward through the double reversible inner-intake vent 11 into the vacuum created by the outgoing oil, thus consuming a minimum of time for the dispensing operation. a

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to obtain by Letters Patent, is:

1. A uantitative oil filling and dispensing bott e, comprising in combination, a

receptacle of substantially conical formation open at its reduced upper end and having a removable cover, a centrally disposed. spout extending therefrom, a slightly inclined vent tube traversing said receptacle at one side of the outlet of said spout and having its ends terminating short of the inner wall of said cover and the bottom of said receptacle, respectively, a relatively short lateral vent tube rigidly connected to and communicating with said inclined tube near its upper end and extending through a close fitting opening in the Wall of said cover, said lateral vent establishing communication of the interior of said receptacle with the atmosphere through the open ends of said inclined tube.

2. A quantitative oil filling and dispensing bottle, comprising in combination, a receptacle of substantially conical formation open at its reduced upper end and having a removable cover, a slightly inclined, open, venttube traversing said receptacle at one side of the outlet ofsaid spout, said inclined tube being. spaced at. its ends from said cover and the bottom of said receptacle, respectively, said inclined tube having a rigidly connected lateral, open, branch extending through the Wall of said cover to the atmosphere, saidinclined tube and its branch being supported in rigid position by said cover. In testimony whereof, I have signed the foregoing specification.
